Spring is here, and it is almost time for the Easter Bunny to come hopping down the lane. Many of us have childhood memories of getting new church clothes for Easter. Whether they were brand new, hand-me-downs, or homemade, Easter was a time for a bit of springtime finery to be put on display. Now with two little girls of my own, I’m looking toward family Easter outfits that are appropriate for Sunday morning service that my children (and husband) will agree to wear. Like all things involving kids, Easter outfits need to look great but be clean, functional, comfortable, and in line with each child’s preference. No sweat, right?! Here are a few outfit ideas I’m considering for the family this Easter.

First, I may go all-in with matchy-matchy looks. I really enjoy Old Navy’s “Family Outfits” online store. It features items across departments that coordinate, with many pieces in the same pattern. You can pick up a floral blouse for mom, and get the same pattern in dresses for daughters, then color-coordinate with polos or button-downs for dad and sons. You can also browse by a particular print, such as stripes, plaids, and geometric patterns. This makes Easter outfits a no-brainer if you can get everyone to agree on the same prints and colors.

Even if everyone likes matching outfits, buying new clothes for the whole family may exceed your holiday budget. To be honest, most adults don’t need new clothes each Easter. So, having the adult outfits picked out first can lay the groundwork for the family’s overall coordinated looks. Family members don’t have to match exactly for coordinated dressing, or even all wear the same color. Instead, pick a grounding piece that one family member wears and then build off that for the rest of the family.

For example, if you happen to pick up a linen or poplin pastel plaid shirt for mom or dad, then the other members of the family can pick shades from the plaid for their outfits. One kid wears a dress in pink, lavender, or sorbet. Another kid has a mint-green button-down and dockers. Again, instead of buying new for everyone, a parent should see what they already have, most likely from Easters past, and then just refresh little ones’ wardrobes to coordinate.

Another easy way to coordinate is through accessories. One practical piece for Easter, especially on a chilly morning, is a cardigan. Granted, sweaters aren’t normally accessories, but they can serve as an add-on. Think of summery dresses with brightly-colored cardis or dress pants, an oxford shirt, and an ecru pullover. Knitwear is great for jumpstarting the life of your warm-weather clothes here in the Easter season. Or, have everyone wear a bow or bowtie in whatever color or pattern they choose. It is a nod to family dressing without too much fuss or muss.

Of course, families don’t have to coordinate for Easter or any holiday. Everyone can simply pick what they want to wear as long as it’s presentable and preferably comfortable. If you are inclined to give a sartorial nod to the season and have some fun with it, consider novelty prints, like bunnies, eggs, carrots, and chicks, for neckties, dresses, polos, or socks. For more casual options, there are some super-cute Easter-themed t-shirts out there for the whole family. If you can find one with a pun, ala, “Every Bunny Loves Me,” scoop them up for both adults and kids.

So much depends on the weather as well. I remember my brother and me freezing out on our back deck in our springy Easter church clothes for pictures. Looking back on those photos now, you can tell we were shivering. Unfortunately, there is a good opportunity that it’ll be cold and gray any year. Looking at the forecast, the weather appears to be fairly mild, but there’s always the chance of rain. So be prepared to add some layers to your intended Easter outfit or have warmer backup options at the ready. The aforementioned cardigans, boots versus dress shoes, leggings under dresses, and the appropriate outerwear are all easy pivots come Easter morning.

Lastly, don’t feel you have to commit to these outfits. If you want to change out of church clothes and into something more comfortable for a meal or an egg hunt, by all means, do it. If you’re just dressing for pictures, strike a pose in your heels, then slip into fuzzy socks afterward. Everyone has different traditions for Easter, some brunch, some church, some get up at 5:30 a.m. and set out eggs for little ones to find. If you’re also one of those families that likes to coordinate your outfits for whatever your activity, consider one (or more) of the approaches above.
